[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]Answer:
The complete question is:
Find the difference. Write your answer in simplest form 4 - 1 [tex]\frac{1\\}{4}[/tex] (Four minus One whole 1/4)
Answer: 11/4
Step-by-step explanation:
The second term (i.e. 1 1/4) is a short form of 1 + 1/4
So, first we solve 1 + 1/4 by taking its Least Common Factor (L.C.M):
1x4/1x4 + 1/4 (Because we can only add or subtract fractions with a similar denominator)
= 4/4 + 1/4
= 5/4
Now, we can solve the original equation i.e.
4 - 1 [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
= 4 - 5/4
= 4x4/1x4 - 5/4 (We have taken an L.C.M because we are adding fractions)
= 16/4 - 5/4
= (16 - 5)/4
= 11/4 (Answer)
